A terrorist attacked a Jewish family with acid in the Gush Etzion region south of Jerusalem Friday, wounding six people including a number of young children.

According to Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics, the mother of the family and three young girls between the ages of 8 and 10 were injured in the lower extremities in the attack. Their injuries are described as light.

The father, a man in his forties, suffered light-to-moderate injuries to his face and eyes.

The sixth victim is believed to be another hitchhiker, and his condition has been described as "moderate".

The victims are apparently residents of Beitar, and are being treated at Jerusalem's Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital.

According to a police statement, the terrorist sprayed acid at the family near Hussan checkpoint, when they stopped their car to give him a ride.

He then attempted to attack another pedestrian with a screwdriver, chasing him down the road before the scene was spotted by border police, who rushed to intercept the terrorist.

Police shot the attacker, described as an Arab man in his thirties, seriously injuring him. He has also been evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital for treatment.

Shraga Hoffman, a spokesperson for the United Hatzalah emergency service, described the scene.

"When I arrived at the scene pedestrians told me that a car stopped to pick up a hitchhiker, and as they opened the car door he sprayed an unknown substance at them which gave them burns to the face. A hitchhiker was moderately injured and the family in the car were lightly injured," he said.

In that incident, a Palestinian driver drove his car directly into a bus stop in an apparent attempt to run over a group of soldiers. However, the car smashed into a concrete barrier in front of the bus stop - a precaution implemented at stops across the country following a spate of similar car attacks - leaving the driver moderately wounded.

A terrorist threw acid on seven Israelis in the West Bank on Friday, including a mother with her three young daughters and her niece. Two other pedestrians were wounded in the attack. The Palestinian suspect then chased another Israeli with a screwdriver and was shot by an armed passerby.

The father of the family, in his 50s, was said to have been hit in the face with the liquid, causing burns to his eyes. He was evacuated to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem for treatment. The mother and three girls aged 8 to 10 were taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in the capital with light injuries.

According to a police statement, the terrorist sprayed acid at the family near Hussan checkpoint, when they stopped their car to give him a ride.

And they paid the price for it. Their injuries aren't severe, but it could have been much worse. And next time it might be.

The terrorist had already served time in prison. He was a repeat offender. The Palestinian Authority's media, funded by American taxpayers, will glorify this latest attack and encourage other terrorists to follow suit.

Acid attacks are much more common in the Muslim world. Especially directed at women. The terrorist chose a car with a mother and three young girls inside.
